G-B Grill 1858 East Broadway, Alton, IL 62002

"Went to breakfast and had a traditional diner meal. Ham and cheese omelette, biscuits and gravy, and hash browns were delicious. The atmosphere made you feel as though you walked into the restaurant when it opened."

"If you have a chance to go eat here, do it. It is great the pancakes are amazing I haven't had a chance to eat lunch there. The family had operated it since 1910 and I think they are pretty close to retiring so if you get the chance stop in and have a bite."

"This is the first place I have been to that actually made perfectly cooked scrambled eggs! Food was awesome and served within minutes, but wasn't pre-cooked. Extremely friendly staff. Decor is all near original 50s diner style with the jukeboxes at the table and a big one at the door. No paper menu - it's the original letter order above the grill. Counter seating with 7 booths. Its cash only but they do have an ATM. Absolute treasure!"

"This diner was opened in 1910 by Jimmy's uncle. Jimmy, his wife, and Angelo run it since the 1950's. The history is so fantastic to read about as the Alton Telegraph wrote a great article on this diner. For all you people who go gambling down on the boat please stop by and have breakfast, lunch, or a snack you can't go wrong at all. Parking was easy, food was cooked by Jimmy himself which was an honor to watch him cook. Angelo was our waiter and he was so attentive along with personal as well. This place is spick and span, which you can't even find in restaurants nowadays. They welcomed my service dog as well. Customers who I assume are regulars were so welcoming as well starting conversations with us. The menu is above the grill and the prices are more than reasonable to top off the breakfast. We ordered a 3 stack of pancakes with bacon, which were so big not to mention so flavorful and tasty. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with bacon along with sausage as I gotta feed Skippy my service dog too. These biscuits and gravy were da bomb, seriously the biscuit was so fresh, and soft too. The gravy was homemade along with the bacon had fabulous flavor. Found out from a Customer that Fridays are homemade chicken n dumplings by Jimmy's wife, who also makes the pies along with biscuits. We ordered to go homemade Chocolate and Apple Pie. Now the pie, oh lordy her Chocolate pie with a chocolate crust, chocolate not sure if it's a pudding or Mousee topped with whipped cream along with chocolate chips. The apple pie was just as good the crust was spot on and the apple filling was just right. I Wish we could have stayed for the Chicken n Dumplings, gonna have to make a road trip on Fridays just to get them soon. Not to mention they have shakes and sundaes. Diners like Jimmy's are dying out to chain restaurants we need support from our local people for fabulous family restaurants as they depend on our support. Did I mention they're a Greek family, of course, there are gyros too, gonna have to try them too."

"What can you say, good hometown diner. I had a omelet and French toast ... delicious. I had a very favorable time in here. I expected greatness, and they excelled in all of my expectations, A+ diner. (Side note: I'm sometimes a stickler about gloves and they don't wear any just a FYI)"
